Safely shipping 621's

I had shipped 2 of the 621's we bought at a local estate sale and sold on ebay, last spring. They can be shipped fairly easily in one box or two, within the USA and overseas (I've shipped at least half a dozen in the last few years).

For this model, you can remove the CRT and then pack and ship the CRT within the wooden cabinet in a box, with the chassis in a separate box.

However, I prefer to ship in one box:
Loosen the front mask and put packing between the CRT and glass, then re-install the mask. Very carefully and tightly pack around the CRT, and around the chassis inside. Bubble wrap the TV and use triple-wall cardboard, tape around the edges, and then more bubble, and put into a larger box.

This has worked well--I've never had a 621 damaged in shipping...but UPS and FedEx can break a solid lead weight inside a steel barrel...so nothing is guaranteed. I shipped a console TV to New England (from NJ) several years ago, it was smashed and FedEx wouldn't pay my claim--they said their conveyor belts are up to 60 feet high, and if my console couldn't withstand a 60 foot fall, then it wasn't packed properly!! Gotta love 'em!
